4 Configure the Network settings

We use Yast, the OpenSuSE system management tool to reconfigure the network card settings. After the first boot, the system is configured to get the IP address with DHCP. For a server we will switch it to a static IP address.

The correction Jeff submitted (libdb-devel) did not work for me. I did notice no installation of "db-devel" on my system so Jeff's statement "db-devel will silently fail to download anything" seems correct. What I have to offer on my system that sounds like it should fit the bill is called "db43-devel" (Files and Libraries for Berkeley DB Library).

In Step 5: Install Some Software db-devel should be *libdb-devel* (Berkeley DB development tools). Found via Google search with results subsequently inserted into an RPM search. db-devel will silently fail to download anything.
